Poland: Światowy Dzień Bezpieczeństwa i Ochrony Zdrowia w Pracy 2026

From the Polish safety agency CIOP. Below in English translation and Polish | Z polskiej agencji bezpieczeństwa CIOP. Poniżej tłumaczenie na język angielski i polski.

Dear Sirs,

I would like to kindly inform you that the theme of the celebration of the World Day for Safety and Health at Work in 2026 is the creation of a healthy psychosocial work environment.

The slogan of this year’s celebrations:

How is it at work?

A healthy psychosocial environment is essential

Today, more and more attention is paid to the psychosocial work environment and its impact on workers’ health. It includes not only the atmosphere in the team, but also the way in which tasks are planned and organized, e.g. their number, pace and time of execution, clarity of expectations, the extent of independence, the support of superiors and transparent rules of operation.

These elements greatly affect the health, safety and efficiency of employees. If they are poorly designed or neglected, they can become a source of psychosocial risks, stress and its consequences for health.

The poster for the celebration of the Day 2026 can be seen at:

Soon we will post more materials and information about this year’s celebrations on this page. If you have any questions, please contact me.

Szanowni Państwo,

 Uprzejmie informuję, że tematem obchodów Światowego Dnia Bezpieczeństwa i Ochrony Zdrowia w Pracy w 2026 r. jest tworzenie zdrowego psychospołecznego środowiska pracy.

 Hasło tegorocznych obchodów:

Jak tam w pracy?

Zdrowe środowisko psychospołeczne to podstawa

 Coraz więcej uwagi zwraca się dziś na psychospołeczne środowisko pracy i jego wpływ na zdrowie pracowników. Obejmuje ono nie tylko atmosferę w zespole, ale także sposób planowania i organizacji zadań, np. ich liczbę, tempo i czas wykonywania, jasność oczekiwań, zakres samodzielności, wsparcie przełożonych oraz przejrzyste zasady działania.

 Te elementy w dużym stopniu wpływają na zdrowie, bezpieczeństwo i efektywność pracowników. Jeśli są niewłaściwie zaprojektowane lub zaniedbane, mogą stać się źródłem zagrożeń psychospołecznych, stresu oraz jego konsekwencji dla zdrowia.

Plakat obchodów Dnia 2026 można zobaczyć na stronie:

 Wkrótce na tej stronie zamieścimy więcej materiałów i informacji na temat tegorocznych obchodów. W razie pytań, uprzejmie proszę o kontakt.

 

Z pozdrowieniami

Canada: Day of Mourning action call by CUPE

National Day of Mourning for workers killed or injured on the job

On April 28, the National Day of Mourning for Workers Killed or Injured on the Job, we remember all the workers we have lost. On this day, CUPE also joins with the Canadian Labour Congress and other unions around the county to demand that all governments enforce the laws, including Westray provisions in the Criminal Code and occupational health and safety laws.

We urge CUPE members to observe a moment of silence and lower flags to half-mast on Tuesday, April 28. Show your support by prominently displaying our poster at your workplace.

Every day in Canada, workers lose their lives on the job. Their deaths are preventable and should not happen. It boggles the mind that we lose almost 1000 workers every year.

In 2017, the most recent year that full statistics are available, the officially recorded number of workplace fatalities rose to at least 951. As with every year, we say “at least” because we, in the labour movement, have always known that the number is higher.

Last year, a new report called Work-Related Death in Canada has attempted to quantify the number of workers lost who are usually uncounted. These are people who are not in the compensation system, or are self-employed, or work “off the grid” in precarious work. Or they are considered to have had a “natural” death, or were commuting to and from work, or who died from an occupational disease or cancer that was never related back to their working conditions.

If we include all the uncounted, the research suggests that there may be 10-13 times as many people dying because of work in Canada than we officially accept in our compensation system.  But while there may be no insurance payment for those left behind, their loved ones are gone just the same.

We implore governments and employers to invest in prevention, including strong health and safety committees. We call for a robust enforcement regime to enhance prevention through pro-active inspections, and to punish those employers who refuse to fulfill their duty to ensure a safe workplace. We also call on the federal government to reinstate the definition of danger that existed in the Canada Labour Code before Stephen Harper weakened it without consultation in 2014.
